Since it's food related....been thinking about those Charmin or Cottonelle flushable wipes for those times when I am fighting for my life and normal TP just won't cut it.

Why don't you just wear an adult diaper instead? Then those messy Taco Bell issues aren't a problem.

Weighed myself the other day.

189.4 pounds. Not too shabby. As much as I talk about food....I know some of y'all must be thinking I am tipping the scales at like 300 pounds. LOL.

Have the scales been calibrated lately?

The good news for the Saints is they have room to move more than $100 million in salary-cap costs into future years without cutting any current players if they don't want to. Obviously, they'll have to deal with those charges in future seasons. But this has been a common practice for the Saints over the past decade under general manager Mickey Loomis and vice president of football administration Khai Harley -- and it has become more common throughout the league after the COVID-19 pandemic lowered the NFL's cap by nearly $16 million per team in 2021.

This is why I laughed when all the experts on here were so concerned about the saints salary cap. The QB position and finding skilled players at wr was always my biggest concern for this offseason

These moves make sense if you’re in contention for a super bowl. Saints aren’t really close to that. Also, how were you well over the salary cap when you don’t even have a legit starting Qb and the salary cap got that goes with it?

TJ was getting ripped in the Ukraine getting invaded thread and I stepped in....TJ might be a righty tighty but he ain't full blown Trumptard.

Good to know that...

One of my very best friends is a Republican. She's good people. Course she STILL doesn't know I voted for Biden...

Murray's agent, Erik Burkhardt, released a statement on Monday indicating the former No. 1 pick is happy to be the Cardinals' quarterback, but only if the team makes a contract extension their priority.

So they played the Chiefs close in one game. Noticed that they scored 7 points? Again, you mentioned that they *could* be a playoff team based on who they replace Rodgers with. Who are they going to replace Rodgers with? And again, we've seen what Greenbay looked like in multiple situations where they didn't have Rodgers; they lose most of the time. Rodgers covered up a lot of warts within that organization.

If I knew who Green Bay's replacement would be, I could make a lot of money in Vegas; it's yet to be determined of course. However, judging what Green Bay will look like moving forward without Rodgers based on what they looked like with his back-up playing (often without a lot of first team reps) and with his salary still on their cap and not used elsewhere is NOT a good or fair indicator.

Again, who is going to run away with that division if Rodgers isn't there? Nobody, unless Green Bay gets a strong replacement for Rodgers. Otherwise all teams have a shot at that division, especially the Packers IMO.

 

[shopson67]

How's it not fair to judge them that way? If I were to take Jordan Love, give him a full offseason with the 1's this upcoming year, I'm pretty sure the Packers would be hard-pressed to win 5 games. You're making it sound like the only thing separating Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers, in this context is practice time. I can assure you, it's a bit more than that.

There's also the matter of Rodgers' salary being spent elsewhere on the roster to bolster the team.

 

[shopson67]

would also be fair to expect 4-5 wins. Last time they lost Rodgers for an extended time, I think they went 3-8.

2017, they're not relying on Brett Hundley anymore, and Rodgers' salary would be invested elsewhere on the roster. If Love proves to be as awful as Brett Hundley, sure they could sink pretty far. I don't think anyone is expecting that.

I like Jameis more than most. I don’t like this group of QBs

If they have Jameis back, they should look to 2023 for QB opportunities unless someone they like falls IMO.
